Hey guys. My wife was in Toowoomba on Monday and she was literally driving away from the tsunami to head out west to our home in Pittsworth (25kms west of Toowoomba). I still havent really come to grips with how devastated the town is. I work at the Toowoomba State High School (tried showing 'Greatest Robot in the World' part 2) to my science class for insight into how to stop a volcano from erupting..............
But yeah we're fine. Pittsworth apparently is pretty high up. But Our friends at Murphys creek havent been so lucky. We stayed there for New Years Eve and just on Monday Liza was walking up her driveway upto her armpits in water with a 6year old on one shoulder and a 2 year old on the other. Luckily a fire engine drove past and got them......but unfortunately all their animals are dead......as are probably about another 11 people there.......Its really not a good situation at the moment.
Take care everyone.

hmy: i hope there ok......Posted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 10:30 pm
Thanks so much for your concern. Yeah they are fine. They were actually on Sky news yesterday.....theyre house was flooded and electrified and they had to stand on the couch until the power could get cut. They came over this morning to borrow our trailer. Bloody insurance companies are giving everyone a hard time at the moment because of the fact that most of the people lived near a creek of some sort (even though murphys creek at any time has about 2 inches of water in it ...........). But thanks again for your thoughts. They really are appreciated.

According to the news, the waters have slowly started to flow back out to sea. The crisis isn't over, though

This is absolutely heartbreaking!! And those crumby insurance companies -- this is what happened after Hurricane Katrina here in the US. Keeping you all in my prayers to safely come through this (that footage of the cars being dragged away was incredible and SCARY!!

I agree AprilSeven.
On the whole my city has been very blessed. What has been happening with people swept away and other horrible devastation in other places makes what we've had seem insignificant indeed. I'm pleased to be able to report that the waters are receding in my street and they never even reached my house. But I'm very saddened for the people in those hard-hit cities and towns.
